I wrote a post like this last year, to show you the beauty that can be found in my home town at this time of year. I live just outside the city of Toowoomba in Queensland, Australia. It’s on a mountain range, so has beautiful summers and cool winters. And we’re blessed with perfect conditions to grow beautiful gardens. I spend…
I’m so excited to introduce you to a new pattern in the Molly and Mama range. It was designed specifically for the monthly subscribers of Sew Boxes. The theme for August was ‘Sewing Space Essentials’. So when Leesa asked me if I’d like to create a special hoop art appliqué, I knew exactly what I wanted to make. And here it is…

As a way of saying thank you for your support, kindness and encouragement, I’d like to offer you…
I’m hosting a little pin cushion swap via the Molly and Mama Facebook Page. It’s to celebrate the fourth anniversary of my little biz (which is a pretty special time for me!). My lovely contributors have created a range of gorgeous pin cushions that are just amazing. But before I show you what they’ve been up to, I thought I’d share my own contribution –…

And it’s so lovely seeing their enthusiasm. Here’s some photos of the decorating we’ve been doing at home. These pretties have been collected…
Please tell me that you’re like me, and you have a sketch book full of creative ideas, and a pile of unfinished sewing projects! There are so many projects that I have started in the past and now want to finish. And so many ideas that I am dreaming of, and want to make a reality. So I’ve decided to…
I’ve been wanting to write a post about the new year, well….. ever since the new year. And I can’t believe that we’re nearing the end of February! If you’re anything like me, you’ll be wondering where the time goes. Sorry it’s taken me so long! I wanted to start 2015 with some very clear goals, plans and ideas because I…
It’s high Summer here and it’s not long until we celebrate our national day; Australia Day. When I think of our gorgeous country, I think of green and gold, the beach, the summer, the sun, and our tropical surrounds. I really feel like this pineapple embroidery is a fantastic representation of what summer in Australia is all about! I’d love to show you how…
Is it just me, or does Christmas come around quicker every year? It’s scary! I’ve been visiting Pinterest and blog land, looking for gorgeous crafty tutorials and ideas for Christmas gift giving and decor. And I’ve come up with some lovely projects. But it’s so much nicer when everything is listed in just one place. I wanted to give a…
